A Spartanburg woman has been charged with child neglect after deputies noted several injuries to her 2-year-old child.

Jordan Hannah Finch-Trexler, 19, 853 Fairfax St., was also charged with giving false information to police, according to arrest warrants.

An incident report states that a deputy was called to Spartanburg Regional Medical Center and met with Finch-Trexler. The deputy noted that the child, who had multiple bruises, was lying on a bed crying and appeared to be in pain.

A woman with Finch-Trexler told the deputy that she had been staying with the child overnight while Finch-Trexler was at work, and the child fell out of a collapsible play pen during the night, the report states. Finch-Trexler said she noticed the injuries when she got home from work and they took the child to the hospital.

The child had multiple bruises to her face, arms, legs and body and also had bite marks. She had a swollen mouth and possible right arm and leg fractures, the report states.

Finch-Trexler said the child plays “rough” with an older child in the home and that the two children punch each other, according to the report.

Finch-Trexler was charged with giving false information for saying that only she and the other woman live in the home. Deputies learned that a man, a known drug user, also lives at the home, according to a warrant.

Finch-Trexler remained at the Spartanburg County Detention Facility Tuesday awaiting a bond hearing.
